There is more breath wasted on derisory and inflammatory comments in this
newsgroup than there should be. A simple filter with the four letters 'scar'
shows a simple statistic. If an individual, rightly or wrongly, is not
worthy of contempt, why the continual barrage?

Please get back to on-topic discussion.

cold, hard facts, and they carry on for months like crybabies...

Well, if crushing fragile egos is one's type of thing. Go elsewhere. It
isn't big, it isn't clever and serves no positive purpose. Sob.

Well, speaking of a "waste of space", what did your little diatribe
accomplish, other than adding yet another message from the named offender?
Waste of space, indeed.

Because some people have nothing better to do. Unfortunately
they also seem to have cameras.
